Honest comparison
Motion Kinetic is the established UK lifting/PUWER platform sold in discipline packages. Core is a single platform covering the full lifting, rigging, and height-safety scope across LOLER, ASNZ, and ASME — with deeper service-company workflow.
One Platform, Every Region: Core vs Motion Kinetic
Motion Kinetic is built around UK regulation and sold in discipline packages — buy LOLER, buy PUWER, buy DROPS separately. Core gives lifting, rigging, and height-safety service companies one platform across LOLER, ASNZ, and ASME, with unlimited customer-portal access included.

Which one is right for you?
A straight call. We'd rather you self-select the right fit than push the wrong tool.
Choose Motion Kinetic if…
- You are a UK-anchored oil & gas or offshore operator that needs ECOM / Zone 1 hazardous-area-rated hardware on the inspection floor.
- Your inspection scope sits squarely inside LOLER, PUWER, and DROPS, and you don't have meaningful AU/NZ or US/Canada operations.
- You want specialist discipline modules well outside lifting — LEV, fire equipment, electrical — and you're willing to assemble them as separate packages.
- You prefer a Jonas Software / Constellation vendor relationship.
Choose Core if…
- You inspect and certify lifting, rigging, or height-safety equipment for customers, and you bill them for it.
- You operate across AU/NZ, UK, US, or Canada — or you're planning to.
- You want every client to log into their own branded portal without paying per portal seat.
- You inspect hundreds of similar items per site visit and need batch capture, not 200 separate forms.
- You want the entire job's certificates returned as a single PDF pack, not 50–60 individual files for the customer to chase.
Where Core wins
Three reasons inspection businesses switch to Core
All compliance frameworks ship together
Motion Kinetic prices by package — separate SKUs for LOLER, PUWER, harness/PPE, DROPS, hose, fire equipment. Multi-discipline operators stack the costs. Core covers LOLER, ASNZ 2550, ASME B30, and the LEEA Code of Practice in one configuration. Operators servicing AU and UK customers from the same business get unified data instead of multiple subscriptions.Unlimited customer-portal logins, not Portal Licences
Motion Kinetic charges per Portal Licence — every additional end-customer who wants online visibility shows up as a line item. Core includes unlimited customer logins at no per-seat cost. For a service company with 200 customers, this routinely flips a multi-year TCO comparison in Core's favour, and it changes how you sell value: the portal becomes a retention asset, not a cost centre.One PDF pack per job, not 50–60 separate files
A job inspecting 200 slings, harnesses, and lifting accessories should end with one branded PDF certificate pack for the customer to file. Operators who migrated to Core from Kinetic tell us their customers were left chasing 50–60 individual certificate downloads per job. Core combines them into a single PDF deliverable with the equipment register, certificates, and signoffs in order. Small workflow detail; large support-ticket impact.
Side-by-side: Core vs Motion Kinetic
| Capability | Core | Motion Kinetic | What this means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compliance frameworks built in | LOLER · ASNZ · ASME · LEEA | Per-package (LOLER, PUWER, DROPS, PPE, hoses, fire…) | Motion sells discipline bundles; Core ships them all together. |
| Customer portal logins | Unlimited, included | Paid add-on (Portal Licences) | Material TCO swing for service companies with many clients. |
| Single-PDF cert pack per job | Yes | No | Customers receive one document per job, not a file per inspected item. |
| Multi-inspect batch capture | Native | Limited | Field reality for high-volume sling, harness, and shackle inspection. |
| Region coverage | AU · NZ · UK · US · CA | UK-centred | International operators avoid running parallel systems per region. |
| Implementation timeline | Standard onboarding | ~6 weeks (heavier configurations) | Faster time to demonstrable value. |
| Restrictive competencies | Enforced at scheduling | Tracked as data | LEEA/ASME competency rules become operational, not just documented. |
| Customer billing workflow | Native (timesheets, service charges at the point of inspection) | Via integration | Job profitability data flows straight to invoice. |
| Hazardous-area (ECOM/Zone 1) hardware | Standard mobile devices | Supported | Motion's edge for offshore oil & gas. |
| Vendor backing | Independent, AU/NZ-founded | Jonas Software (Constellation) | Different vendor profile — pick by buyer preference. |
Why Core, in five lines
The same five things matter no matter which competitor you're evaluating.
Built for the inspection service business
Quote → schedule → inspect → certify → bill is the workflow. Most competitors stop at 'inspection completed'.
Multi-region compliance in one platform
LOLER, ASNZ 2550, ASME B30, and LEEA Code of Practice ship together — not as separately purchased modules.
Unlimited customer logins
Every one of your customers gets a branded portal to view equipment and certificates — no per-portal-seat charge.
Multi-inspect for batch capture
Inspect 200 chain slings as a single batch with shared metadata. Drill into defects only.
Restrictive competencies enforced
Only certified technicians can be scheduled to certain inspection types — competency becomes an operational rule, not just a data field.

FAQ
Is Motion Kinetic LOLER-compliant?
Yes — Motion ships a LOLER Lifting Package with ROTE-style reports and registers. Core also handles LOLER thorough examinations natively. The difference is packaging: LOLER is one part of Core's standard configuration, not a separately priced module.
